    Brake caliper screws & wheel bearings

    hi pretz- theyre must be a carrier, that is held onto the leg, withsay 17mm or 19 mm bolts that youve removed with the caliper attached, if your just changing pads then you need only remove the lower bolt that attaches the capliper to the carrier- these will be much smaller- say 13mm, or torx 30...

    Vauxhall Corsa C 54reg tappets... big job?

    iv done a zillion timing chains on these dude, nip it 2 some 1 who,s had previous experience, he'll diagnose if its the timing chain without even lifting the bonnet- if its that- expect to pay £200. theres nothing you can do to prevent it other than use correct oil and keep it topped up. kind...

    Steering wheel wobble but wheels are balanced.

    i wouldnt bother with a dealer service dude- they wont even remove the wheels till the brakes have collapsed-all you get is an oil change for £200- if its ready for tyres then get it done with tracking- dont go for the lazers- do it over a tracking plate, costs £20 at my gaf and is much better...

    Steering wheel wobble but wheels are balanced.

    biodiesel

    again- i think their is a widespread misconception about biodiesel. all manufacturers warranty its use upon request. vw, audi, skoda and seat include its use in their handbook, but their is no gumming up of injectors- biodiesel en14214 has the same properties as diesel en590 for motor fuel use...

    biodiesel

    i was also bemused how you were able to attempt to make biodiesel without using a catalyst or methanol??? it sounds like your just filtering and then using-- which works great for alot of people- but it does give biodiesel a bad name- if its not en14214- then its not biodiesel- its jus some guy...

    biodiesel

    i was surprised to hear you thought it illegal fattony- i thought everyone knew the government promoted its use and even gave duty relief on the first 2500ltrs use. every diesel is already using it as its in the pumps from the beginning so no worries about compatability or manufacturers...

    Is this tyre legal?

    hi mate, dont worry about it- all michelins crack prematurely, any1 in the industry will tell you this. if tread is good over central three quarters, no blebs or structural damage to carcass, you should be good. whilst it looks scruffy now- it doesnt tend to get any worse without some help. only...

    Replacing brake pipes

    if they were replaced last time dude then no need for replacement, if your worried about them that much then treat them with grease for preservation- other than that- you wouldnt replace every bulb on your car or each bush just incase they might fail for mot- so wait for them to fail or advise...

    Nissan Primera S (W-2000) Air Bag Light

    first thing id try dude is the wires under your seat, these get the most hammer what with the obvious of the seat being sat on and moved forwards and backwards. disconnect, check terminals for cleanliness, and contact, try seperating the terminals so that when reconnected they 'push' harder...
